Rent & eviction protection

Is 395 London St rent-controlled?

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1988
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 395 London Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by John I & Nelda A Malilay Re, was constructed in 1988 and has undergone minimal major construction work, with the most recent significant improvement being a completed $14,000 reroofing project in July 2024. The property has experienced a notable pattern of waste management issues in recent months, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned garbage and debris on the property and surrounding area. Between October and December 2024, there were at least eight documented incidents involving various types of discarded materials including loose garbage, bagged waste, furniture, and even a mattress, with some cases requiring Recology's involvement while others were handled by Street and Environmental Services. Several of these incidents resulted in resolved cases, though at least two reports (from December 23 and October 2, 2024) received "Unable to Locate" status, suggesting potential challenges in addressing the waste management situation. Additionally, there were two incidents of driveway blocking requiring parking enforcement intervention in late 2024, both of which resulted in citations being issued. The property's maintenance history, aside from the recent roofing work and historical permits dating back to 1986, shows little documented major structural or systems work, and while the building's age qualifies it as relatively modern compared to many San Francisco structures, the recent pattern of waste management issues may warrant attention to resident experience and neighborhood impact concerns.

Risk rating

How 395 London St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
86thpercentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 47 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
